The room was clean and tidy, and it was cleaned twice a day with water replenished promptly. Most importantly, it's very close to Lotte Duty Free, so after shopping, you can drop off your purchases at the hotel and continue shopping. It's also very near Myeongdong Food Street, making shopping incredibly convenient. The hotel even gave chocolates and a small dress to our child during check-in. I will definitely stay here again next time I visit Seoul.

Let's start with the pros: 1. The hotel's location is excellent, right behind Shinsegae Department Store, and only about a 5-minute walk to Myeongdong shopping street. 2. There's a subway station downstairs, and the surrounding area offers plenty of dining, entertainment, and shopping options. 3. The hotel's style leans more towards medieval Baroque. If you're not particularly fond of this somewhat quirky decor, I'd suggest reconsidering. However, for a unique travel experience, this hotel is definitely a plus. 4. There are three Michelin-starred restaurants right on the hotel's upper floors, making it very convenient for food lovers. Cons: No significant issues with the hotel. Worth staying, haha!

I booked this room for 2300 a night with a friend. I saw some bloggers on Xiaohongshu saying the rooms were small and the ceilings were low, but honestly, it wasn't too bad (maybe because it was my first time staying at a 5-star hotel, so I don't know how good other 5-stars are). I'd recommend booking an afternoon tea on Naver. After checking in, change and enjoy afternoon tea. In the evening, the lobby has a total old money vibe, perfect for photos. If you're only staying one night, I highly recommend it, especially if you can get a good price! We originally booked a room with a regular view, but the front desk offered us a Namsan view room, though it was next to the elevator. They asked if we were okay with it, and we immediately said yes. However, if you're a light sleeper, definitely don't agree to it, because from around 6 AM onwards, you can hear the elevator going up and down.

Very beautiful hotel. Greeted by staffs who helped open the car door, and get your bags and luggage to the check in counter every day! Only bummer was at check out timing is 11am, we tried asking for later check out timing during check-in and was told hotel is full. Managed to get a late check out of 12pm when we tried again the night before leaving the hotel. Hotel has a little mall,a coffee bean, CU, some expensive restaurants. It also has a sauna (30K won per pax), 1 hot and cold tub and one sauna room. Room amenities can be requested via the web app in your room. Rooms were very modern, however Water from the shower does flood the dry toilet area a little. Generally a great stay.

The location is very convenient, with subway and bus stations nearby, as well as a direct airport shuttle. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful; check-in at the front desk was quick, issues were addressed promptly, and housekeeping was thorough.

My overall experience at the Conrad Seoul was absolutely fantastic. The hotel is located in the heart of Yeouido's business district, with direct underground access to IFC Mall and The Hyundai department store, making it incredibly convenient for dining, entertainment, and shopping – a one-stop shop for everything you need. The rooms are exceptionally spacious for a Seoul hotel, with a well-designed layout clearly separating the living area (with a sofa) and the workspace. The public facilities are impeccably maintained; the 37th-floor pool is quiet and uncrowded, offering stunning city and river views while you swim. The gym is well-equipped with a great panoramic view. Breakfast offers a wide variety, from authentic Korean local dishes like abalone porridge and bibimbap to Western cuisine. The front desk and room service staff are professional and patient, with seamless English communication, and the turndown service is thoughtful and meticulous. Whether you're traveling for leisure or business, this is a top choice for luxury accommodation in Seoul.

This stay exceeded my expectations. The hotel's location is excellent, close to shopping districts and transportation hubs, making getting around very convenient. The room was meticulously cleaned, odor-free, and the bathroom had a separate wet and dry area. The mattress was just right, not too soft and not too hard, ensuring a good night's sleep. The front desk staff were efficient with check-in, had a gentle demeanor, and were quick to address any requests. Overall, the experience was fantastic. I highly recommend it for both business trips and tourism.

The location of New Seoul is excellent, with subway lines 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 nearby. There's a very enthusiastic woman at the front desk who speaks Chinese. You can only top up your Wowpass at the front desk, not your Tmoney. There's a conveniently located Olive Young not far from the hotel. Cheonggyecheon Stream is just a 3-5 minute walk away, perfect for an evening stroll. Gwanghwamun and Gyeongbokgung Palace are about a 15-minute walk, and you can exit through the side gate of Gyeongbokgung to reach Bukchon Hanok Village. Myeongdong is also roughly a 15-minute walk, and Lotte Duty Free is very close to the hotel. The bedding is very comfortable.

The hotel is conveniently located near three subway exits, with the one featuring an elevator directly across the street. Nearby, you'll find the Shinsegae Duty-Free Shop and Olive Young. The front desk staff are fluent in English, which made me realize my own English speaking skills need work! I was unsure how to order food delivery and asked the kind lady at the information desk for help on my phone. She even recommended some delicious fried chicken, and I happily enjoyed it in my room while watching TV. Although the room doesn't have a microwave, the hotel restaurant on the 2nd floor can help heat things up – the service was excellent. The hotel also offers a free pool and gym, but we didn't have time to use them during our trip. The only downside was the slightly higher price during the summer holidays; otherwise, everything was perfect. The bedding was great. We were two people and didn't have a twin room initially, but the front desk noticed and immediately asked if we wanted to switch, then arranged a twin room for us. There's a GS25 convenience store right in the hotel lobby, which is super handy, and a Burger King next door. I would definitely choose to stay here again.

Taking the 6015 bus from Incheon Airport T1 is super convenient as it drops you right at the hotel entrance. For the return trip, you can catch the bus from the same stop, it's a loop service back to the airport. The hotel is also very close to the subway, which is a big plus. We booked a total of five nights, with four nights in one room and the other night separately. Both rooms were identical. They were spacious enough, and the toiletries were complete, though the slippers were a bit thin. The toilet's refilling sound was a bit loud, and I didn't like that the bathroom exhaust fan couldn't be turned off. The pillow situation was a bit awkward too, with one low pillow and two high ones. On the positive side, all the staff members were numerous and very diligent.

The downside is that there were former employees striking outside the hotel the entire time. It seems this hotel treats its staff very poorly. The daily room cleaning was also done very late, probably because they laid off so many employees. For these reasons, I wouldn't recommend this hotel. The location, however, is excellent. It's super convenient for getting to major shops in Myeongdong like Olive Young (though a bit far from the duty-free shop). The subway station is right downstairs, and there's also a very large 7-Eleven downstairs with spacious seating for instant noodles. Other stores like GS25 are also nearby, and a 12-story Daiso is just across the street. The hotel doesn't provide disposable dental kits, so you can just buy them directly from Daiso. Myeongdong Cathedral is right behind the hotel, and there are quite a few historical attractions in the vicinity. Luggage storage is very convenient, and check-in is self-service.

The hotel's location is excellent and easy to find, right by Subway Line 5, just a few minutes from Gwanghwamun. There are drugstores and supermarkets nearby, though not many restaurants (maybe I didn't explore enough). It's about a 10-minute walk to Shinsegae and Lotte department stores, perfect for dropping off shopping bags. The hotel breakfast is very rich and varied, catering to different tastes. The only downside is that the bed was a bit too soft, and I woke up with a slight backache the next morning.

I had actually noticed this hotel before. I used to stay at a hotel nearby and even came into this one specifically to take photos with the super-sized Brown bear in the lobby. So, before this trip, I made sure to look it up, and to my surprise, I was lucky enough to book a themed room! They said it would be a random rabbit or bear theme, but I was so fortunate to get my favorite Brown bear themed room. Check-in was at 3 PM, but I arrived at 2:20 PM and they actually let me check in early. The hotel staff were all very enthusiastic and always greeted me politely when I entered or left. The themed rooms are all on the 14th floor, and as soon as you step out of the elevator, you're greeted by adorable plushies. The room itself was incredibly cute, like stepping into a fairy tale and becoming good friends with Brown bear. The giant Brown bear on the sofa was super cute, and I also loved the blue sofa, though it showed some signs of age. The room facilities were all great, especially the TV channels – there were so many! For someone like me who loves to stay in the hotel, this was fantastic. There were even three or four channels with Chinese dramas, and even more movies and Korean dramas. The bathroom facilities were also good. I really liked that the bathtub and shower were separate; I don't like showering while standing in a tub. The only downside was that the exhaust fan was a bit noisy. I also have to praise their housekeeping speed. At other hotels, sometimes you put up the 'clean my room' sign and it doesn't get cleaned for hours, but here, it was always done very quickly and was spotlessly clean. I was particularly satisfied with this.

【Review of Hotel Sky Myeongdong, Seoul, Korea】— A City Choice with Excellent Location but Room for Improvement For my recent trip to Seoul, I stayed at the highly recommended Hotel Sky Myeongdong. My overall experience can be described as a mix of pros and cons, making it suitable for travelers who prioritize convenience but don't have high demands for facilities. 🌟 Location: An Unbeatable, King-Tier Advantage The hotel's biggest highlight is definitely its location! Situated in the heart of Myeongdong, it's a 3-minute walk to Myeongdong Station (Subway Line 4) and a 5-minute walk to Lotte Duty Free Shop and Shinsegae Department Store. The surrounding area is bustling with restaurants, convenience stores, currency exchange booths, and cosmetic shops. For avid shoppers and first-time visitors to Seoul, this location is a lifesaver, allowing you to shop until 10 PM and return to the hotel without any hassle. 🏨 Room Experience: Small but Complete, Manage Your Expectations I stayed in a standard double room, which was about 18㎡, typical of a Korean city hotel – small but fully equipped. The bedding was clean and comfortable, and soundproofing was decent (though street-facing rooms had some traffic noise). However, the facilities clearly showed their age: drainage in the bathroom was a bit slow, some power outlets had poor contact, and the air conditioning was somewhat noisy. A highlight was the window view from the upper floors, offering a scenic overlook of Myeongdong's nightscape, great for photos. 💁 Service and Facilities: Standard Business-like Approach The front desk offered Chinese and English services, making communication smooth, but the staff's attitude was rather robotic, lacking warmth. The hotel provides a basic gym and a coin-operated self-service laundry room, suitable for long-term guests. Breakfast options were limited, mainly consisting of Korean side dishes, bread, and salads, with average taste. I'd recommend trying local breakfast spots instead. ⚠️ Minor Drawbacks: A Question of Value for Money The weekday rate was around 150,000 Korean Won per night (approximately 800 RMB), which is a mid-range price for the Myeongdong area. However, the aging facilities diminished its value for money. Additionally, the hotel does not provide disposable toothbrushes, so you need to bring your own, and elevator wait times can be long during peak hours. 📌 Summary: Who is it for? Who is it not for? ✅ Recommended for: First-time visitors to Korea, those primarily focused on shopping, and travelers who highly prioritize location. ❌ Not recommended for: Those seeking a luxurious experience, who value spacious rooms, or are extremely light sleepers. Overall Rating: 3.5/5 The location advantage is excellent, but if the hotel were to invest in facility renovations, the experience would improve significantly. It's a good option for a short stay, but for longer trips, it's advisable to compare with newer hotels in the area.

The location is great, just a five to six-minute walk to Myeongdong shopping street, and a few more minutes to Lotte Department Store and the duty-free shop. It's also quite close to Dongdaemun; a taxi ride costs only a few dollars. The room is spacious for a Korean hotel, big enough to fully open a 30-inch suitcase. To store luggage, you need to go to B3 where there are lockers that are easy to use and very convenient. There's a small convenience store in the hotel lobby, which is handy for grabbing some snacks when you're tired from returning to the hotel. There are also many restaurants nearby.

We stayed at Aloft by Marriott Myeongdong for 5 nights. The location is unbeatable - convenient 5 mins walk to the main Myeongdong shopping and eating area. Around 7 minutes walk to Lotte Department Store and Shinsegae. The staff at front desk are all very courteous and nice. The rooms are clean and tidy. One thing though they will not touch our personal things in the bathroom, such as my hair curler was laying on top of some dirty towels and upon returning to my room, my curler and the dirty towels were left at the same spot. But their service is excellent - the first night we stayed the air-con was too hot and changing the thermostat did not work. So we called reception and stated the issue. They promptly sent a technician up to help fix the air-con, which afterwards worked fine, and the rooms were cool and we all slept very well. There's not a whole lot of facilities except a small gym though. Overall, a very nice stay at this hotel where the staff are attentive and nice, and they all speak fluent English. We'd choose this hotel again on our next stay in Seoul.

The Stanford Hotel Myeongdong boasts an excellent location. It's just a few minutes' walk to Euljiro 1(il)-ga Subway Station, which is on Line 2 and connects to Line 4 for Myeongdong Station and Seoul Station. Myeongdong Shopping Street is right downstairs, making dining, shopping, and getting around incredibly convenient. The airport limousine bus stop is also close by, located right in front of the Ibis Hotel. The room was clean, tidy, and well-lit, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering city views. The bedding was comfortable. The front desk staff were friendly, and there was even an uncle who spoke Chinese, making communication very smooth. The hotel is well-equipped with amenities like a laundry room and a gym. The only minor drawback is that the room is a bit small; it was a little inconvenient to walk around once we had two 24-inch suitcases open. Overall, it offers great value for money. If you're visiting Seoul and prioritize convenience, I highly recommend staying here.

I stayed at the Four Points by Sheraton Josun, Seoul Myeongdong for one night before flying out of ICN. My only requirement was that the hotel have easy access to the airport limousine route. While there is a stop a few steps from the hotel, we found that, given the time of our flight the following morning, we ultimately needed to use a different stop. We trekked the extra 10 minutes in the morning with our luggage, which was less than ideal, but ultimately worked out fine. The hotel was easy to access, tucked into a quiet corner of Myeongdong. While we arrived quite late in the evening, the staff was glad to receive us. The check-in instructions were simple and easy. We received a room on the 20th (I think) floor with a lovely view of the city. It was clean and well-appointed with space for four suitcases, which was necessary as we prepared to depart Korea with many new purchases. The famous Myeongdong walking street was only a 7-minute walk away, which is a major selling point. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a solo traveler, a pair, or a couple. The room is small, but clean, and the location is prime.
